Nothing is free. They sell information on your trades so that others can front-run you.
You're missing the significance of Ihor's work: what he is doing is applying NASDAQ average short interest metrics to the single highest shorted stock in existance, ever, with no error bars.Can we make a Forum-wide agreement not to post anymore of Ihor’s short float predictions? They have been wrong for as long as I remember and only can cause harm to investors using his data to predict SP moves.
If someone created a poll every 2 weeks guessing the short float, I bet our wild-ass guess results would as good or better than his. I’m serious about this. With this run-up, I was sure the short float would be lower and it was. He predicted it would be higher.
So let’s do the smart thing and just ignore him altogether.
Electrek - hour ago: https://ww.electrek.co/2020/01/28/tesla-model-y-prototypes-boulder-colorado/
Excerpt:
Rumors are that Tesla is about to start Model Y production, but the automaker is still in the middle of its test program as two Model Y prototypes were spotted all the way in Boulder, Colorado.
Sounds like sign up process for DeGiro is not the same for every country then, although I created my account there ~2 years ago, so maybe it has changed.
I'm more inclined to think it's the MM's trying to keep it down already for Friday.
More BS from Ihor. Sounds like a short-squeeze is developing and he's trying to soften the blow for his clients.
Read your brokerage agreements, people. AFAIK, they will typically give your broker the right to lend your shares as long as they are in an account that qualifies as a margin account. And doesn't everyone have a margin account (even if not using margin)?
Is it time to recall our shares?
hahaha. Now this is an ad. These fools should have been hired by Tesla to do this. Would have been way cooler. I know I know, no ads from Tesla, yada yada yada, but come on....it's catchy.
Sorry for the delay in responding.
Let's do a comparison for another 50-point spread of about the same cost basis as the 21 Feb $750-$800 spreads ($5,20-$3,50). For 31 Jan, that would be $695-$745 spreads ($3,15-$1,33). Now, we don't have to do 50-point spreads - we could do narrower spreads with more contracts for the same total net reward, but we'll just keep it as an example.
A couple observations:
But really, the short of it is, I just like the look of the 21 Febs more than the 31 Jans. One could also ask why not even longer in the future, but I'm really not looking to price in even more events beyond that in terms of "lotto tickets". I just wanted enough time for the aftermath of the ER to get fully priced in. And again, these are just some minor lotto tickets; my main options are 15 Jan '21 spreads with relatively unambitious strikes ($620-$800 on the bottom end, $900-1000 on the top), so a year's time on them to achieve some relatively modest growth.
- For full yield, the stock needs to jump up $187 for Jan and $242 for February. But January has only two trading days post-ER while February has 23 days post-ER. During this time, if it was a good ER, you have analyst upgrades; you'll have given big buyers time to accumulate (or even, first, to decide to accumulate); potential for a Moody's upgrade or S&P rumblings... even some macro stuff going on right now like coronavirus will have time to pass. Two days isn't much; a good ER rarely just causes the stock to jump up big and then flatline.
- If the ER is good but doesn't cause a big enough initial jump, the Jan spreads will quickly become worthless, while the Feb spreads will retain some residual value. The devil is in the details, of course, and both types of spread still definitely fall under the "lotto" category
For Friday I see 2500 call contracts at 400$, those will very likely bring their owners a handsome profit.
If MM's do try to manipulate the SP, then the close to 10k call contracts at 600$ seem like an juicy prize
- which bothers me, because I hold one of those...
But perhaps this will not be possible - there is also 8+ k call contracts at 1000$ - and 4+ k call contracts at 900$.
I guess we can expect ... volatility. Maybe.
